A watercolor painted by Adolf Hitler was auctioned in Nuremberg (southern Germany) for 130,000 euros, today reported the auction house Weidler.
Watercolor, 28 by 24 inches, was acquired by an anonymous buyer, probably from the Middle East.
The high price, which surprised the auction house may be related to the fact that the original bill of 1916 is preserved when the picture was taken at a gallery in Munich.
The buyer then was the grandfather of two sisters who are now about seventy years and watercolor delivered to the auction house.
Trading Hitler paintings is only banned in Germany in cases where the works Nazi symbols appear.
Hitler, before beginning his political career, tried his luck as a painter without greater fortune. Both in Germany and abroad there are collectors who buy works of Hitler.
